No, not yet. Still evaluating.

No proof, but I have my suspicions.

I can't add 1k at a time, but I understand your point. I guess systematic down voting activity provides "entertainment" much like using GID sockpuppets to upvote your main account can be "entertaining" as well.

Probably not, if this is true: https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/03/lori-laughlin-fired-fuller-house/

Don't waste your time asking Night Hawk that question, TD. He systematically down votes 90% of my posts on practically a daily basis, regardless of their content.

Ocasio-Cortez hits NRA after New Zealand shooting: 'What good are your thoughts and prayers?': https://thehill.com/homenews/house/434190-ocasio-cortez-calls-out-nra-after-new-zealand-shootings-what-good-are-your So the phrase "thought and prayers" is used exclusively by the NRA and it's members? And does New Zealand have the same constitutional protections and laws regarding gun ownership as the U.S. does?

But's she's an artist. They have to work, don't they?

The Hallmark Channel, typically spared from scandals, has cut ties with Lori Loughlin: https://news.avclub.com/the-hallmark-channel-typically-spared-from-scandals-h-1833306697#_ga=2.82810590.913238935.1552318544-2565330411.1523556988 One wonders if Ms. Loughlin will ever have meaningful work in the acting business again.

Universities Play the Victim in Admissions Scandal, but They’re Far From Blameless: http://reason.com/archives/2019/03/14/universities-play-the-victim-in-admissio

I doubt if the rich and famous indicted/arrested in this case will actually serve real jail time, but I found this amusing:

Providing opportunities, yes. Children who actually chose to take advantage of those opportunities, sounds like mostly no. Better to party and become some sort of internet "influencer/tastemaker" and let your parents cheat you into a prestigious institution.

Elizabeth Warren Wants to Make Your Life More Annoying and More Expensive: http://reason.com/blog/2019/03/12/elizabeth-warren-tech-antitrust-amazon You bet it is closer to the truth. It also sounds that under this regulation giant retailers like Wal-Mart and Target, both who sell their "house brand" items online as well as in their brick-and-mortar stores, would have to stop selling those house brands or spin them off. Either would mean higher prices for consumers.

Ok. Thank you for that concise explanation.

A Professor Spoke the Truth, He Still Pays the Price: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/03/professor-samuel-abrams-spoke-the-truth-he-still-pays-the-price/ Crazed student demands are not new on American campuses. Outrageous mischaracterizations of opposing views are par for the course (really, read Abrams’s essay and see if he’s guilty of any of the charges against him). Yet matters get more alarming when professors and presidents take radicals seriously. Reportedly, the president of the college has already met twice with the protesters, and 25 professors have signed a petition declaring they “stand in solidarity with the student activism happening this week.” Years ago, when I’d speak about the larger dangers of the campus culture wars, I’d often hear adults dismiss my concerns by confidently stating that these students would “grow up” when they encountered the harsh and unforgiving “real world.” Well, campus radicals have encountered the “real world,” and they’re remaking it in their own oppressive image. The call-out culture has migrated from campus to corporations, and now everyday Americans live in fear that their words — even words uttered in good faith and with great respect — can cost them their livelihoods. And on campus, dissenters from campus orthodoxy often need not just tenure but a rare kind of personal fortitude, including the ability to withstand repeated calls for their termination, repeated disruptions of their work, and sometimes even outright slander. Publishing truthful information about ideological imbalances threatens no one’s “safety.” Questioning the priorities of progressive administrators endangers no one’s “wellbeing.” Colleges should not “protect” anyone from New York Times essays. And the fact that even a syllable of this nonsense is taken seriously by professional academics indicates that our culture of free speech is already in decline. I've read Mr. Abram's essay at the NYT, and don't see where he is guilty of any of the charges the Sarah Lawrences Snowflakes accuse him of.

I don't get it. It's a picture of Tim Cook, looks to be from some sort of app.

College RA training guide: ‘Make America Great Again’ example of white supremacy: https://www.thecollegefix.com/college-training-guide-make-america-great-again-example-of-white-supremacy/ Note that this conversation did not take place inside a classroom—it took place in a training seminar for student resident advisors and housing staff. This is concerning, as part of a course's curriculum, one might reasonably expect this information to be presented by an academic expert on white supremacy, and the subsequent discussion to contain some nuance and room for disagreement. The Office for Inclusive Community, on the other hand, is an activist bureaucracy. What free speech assurances are there for students entering an administrative training program?
